Greetings!
Our November meeting was our final meeting and DPC competition of the year, and it did not disappoint, as the members submitted some amazing, inspiring images for the judges. In the end, congratulations to Wayne Cutler for his beautiful Best in Show portrait image.
Our next meeting will be our Open House and 2015 Awards presentation for Photographers of the year. You will not want to miss this evening. So plan to join us on Thursday, January 21, 2016. The evening will be a sports-themed event, with some great items to be given away! We will also be installing the 2016 board this evening as well.
As I wrap up my 2nd and final year as President of PPLAC, I must thank all of the committee members and board members who have given countless hours of their time to help make this the amazing organization that it is. I would like to thank our members for their input, the inspiring images at DPC, and their contributions to PPLAC. Without each and every single person, this organization would not exist. You all have helped me grow as a photographer, a person and with your support as I battled and beat cancer over the last 2 years. Thank you!
I wish each and every one of you and your families a safe, fun and inspiring holiday season and remember, "Get out there and shoot some amazing images!
Mel Carll,
2015 PPLAC President
